Does this feel familiar?
You’re preparing for birth, but unsure what support will actually look like once you’re home.
You’re wondering how you’ll recover physically and emotionally after delivery.
You’re worried about feeding — whether breastfeeding, combination feeding, or formula feeding — and what happens if it doesn’t go as planned.
You’re thinking about your newborn’s sleep, behaviour, and cues, and how you’ll know what’s normal.
You want to feel supported and confident — not overwhelmed or left figuring things out on your own.
If these thoughts have crossed your mind, you’re not overthinking — you’re preparing.
Planning for postpartum support is one of the most protective things you can do for yourself and your baby.
What Most Women Aren't Told About Postpartum
Most women spend months preparing for birth — but very little time preparing for what comes after.
Prenatal care is structured and frequent. Appointments are scheduled, questions are answered, and support feels clearly defined.
Postpartum, however, often looks very different.
After delivery, care can feel brief and fragmented. You may leave the hospital with written information, a follow-up appointment weeks later, and the expectation that recovery, feeding, and adjustment will simply unfold on their own.
But postpartum isn’t a single moment — it’s a transition.
It’s physical healing alongside emotional shifts.
It’s learning how to feed your baby in real time.
It’s understanding newborn behaviour while adjusting to exhaustion, hormonal changes, and a new rhythm of life.
When questions come up — and they almost always do — many families aren’t sure where to turn.
Support can feel reactive rather than planned, leaving parents piecing together information and hoping they’re interpreting things correctly.
Feeling uncertain during this season isn’t a personal failure.
It’s the result of a system that wasn’t designed to provide ongoing, practical postpartum support.
Planning ahead doesn’t mean you expect something to go wrong.
It means you recognize that support makes a difference — and that having informed guidance during the early postpartum period can help recovery feel calmer, steadier, and less overwhelming.
At Latched & Bloom, we believe postpartum support should be intentional — not something families have to seek out only once they’re already struggling.
When support is in place early, questions are addressed sooner, confidence builds more naturally, and the transition into motherhood feels less isolating.
Not because parents are doing more —
but because they’re supported better.
How Postpartum Support Works at Latched & Bloom
All support options are delivered in-home during the postaprtum period.
At Latched & Bloom, our approach is grounded in one simple belief:
postpartum support should feel steady, informed, and planned — not rushed or reactive.
We provide private, nurse practitioner–led, in-home postpartum support and education designed to complement your existing medical care and support you through the transition into motherhood.
Our role is not to replace your obstetrician, midwife, or primary care provider. Instead, we focus on the areas where families often need the most day-to-day guidance, reassurance, and continuity after birth — the questions and moments that don’t always fit into brief appointments.
Support is delivered in your home, in a calm and unhurried way, so questions can be addressed in the context of real life — not a waiting room or a rushed visit.
Our work focuses on:
Postpartum physical recovery support
Maternal mental health education and emotional wellbeing support
Newborn care and behaviour education
Infant feeding support — including breastfeeding, combination feeding, and formula feeding
All support is provided through education, monitoring, practical guidance, and individualized check-ins, based on your needs and stage of recovery.
Rather than a single visit, our care is designed to offer continuity. As your needs change — physically, emotionally, and practically — support adjusts alongside you.
Some days that may look like answering recovery questions.
Other days it may mean working through feeding concerns or newborn behaviour.
Often, it simply means having a knowledgeable, steady presence to help you understand what’s normal and when to seek additional care.
Postpartum care doesn’t need to feel overwhelming or isolating.
With the right support in place, it can feel calmer, more grounded, and easier to navigate — one step at a time.
We offer several ways to receive support, depending on your needs and stage of the postpartum journey.
Ways to Receive Support
Support options designed to meet you where you are after birth.
The First Touch
A calm starting point after birth
An early postpartum check-in designed to support your recovery, infant feeding questions, and early newborn care concerns.
This option offers nurse practitioner–led guidance and reassurance during the first days at home — without ongoing commitment.
Best for:
Early reassurance and expert guidance after birth
The First Hold
Steady support during the early postpartum weeks
Short-term, structured postpartum support for families who want continuity beyond a single visit.

Best for:
Ongoing support through the early postpartum weeks
The Sanctuary
Comprehensive postpartum support with continuity of care
Our most comprehensive support option, designed for families who want deeper continuity during recovery and early parenting.
The Sanctuary offers sustained guidance across physical recovery, emotional wellbeing, infant feeding, and newborn care — adapting as your needs change.
Best for:
Extended, ongoing postpartum support
All services are provided as private, non-OHIP postpartum support and education and are designed to complement existing medical care.
Meet Simone
I’m Simone, a Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Latched & Bloom.
I created Latched & Bloom after seeing how often families leave the hospital with excellent birth care — but very little support for the realities of postpartum recovery and early newborn care.
My work focuses on providing calm, evidence-based postpartum support that complements existing medical care. I support families through physical recovery, emotional wellbeing, infant feeding, and newborn care — with guidance that feels steady, respectful, and unhurried.
My role isn’t to replace your healthcare providers, but to offer continuity, education, and reassurance during a season that can feel overwhelming without support.
At Latched & Bloom, care is never rushed and never one-size-fits-all.
Support is thoughtful, professional, and centered around your needs.
Words From the Families We’ve Cared For
Reflections from families who received postpartum support through Latched & Bloom.
Prior to my planned c section, I arranged a nurse practitioner home visit for 3 days after discharge. Simone’s knowledge, kindness and experience put me at ease and she answered all my questions without judgement. She provided a thorough visit summary and recommendations for infant & postpartum care, with helpful information on things to watch for, and tips specific to my son’s needs. Our home visit was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend this service to others.
Customer Review
So happy we went with Latched & Bloom for our 48 hour post delivery assessment and subsequent wellness checks.
As new parents, having someone come home instead of having to get ready to go out for an appointment was such a relief.
Simone is a wealth of knowledge and we’ve been so thankful to be able to have someone to ask all our first time parent questions to! Would highly recommend her services to anyone.
Customer Review
